10:38 am
been committing for over a year now across gaza. the plaintives and rights group say israel has been illegally exempted from that law. a recent report says the us has provided 17.9 billion dollars in military aid to israel since october last year. observers believe that without the us assistance, israel would not be able to continue its genocide in gaza. political commentator sarah flounders joined us earlier to share her views on washington's continued military assistance to israel despite the regimes ongoing genocide in gaza. "the us is in violation of its own laws, it's in violation of international law, it's in violation of every moral standard, and the lahi law was an important piece of legislation, us has never abided by it at all, but it did say
10:39 am
that the department of state, the department of defense, could not provide aid of any kind to those who are in violation." international humanitarian law, and of course there have been gross violations, genocide, this is agreed the whole world, icc, icj, numerous investigations, the destruction of of homes of schools, of marketplaces, of children, the targeting, again and again, there's just no doubt that obviously israel is in violation, but there's also... no doubt anyone in the world has that every day of this war funded by the us, so are they in violation of the lahi law? yes, and of every conceivable human standard, and they're doing it deliberately. this war could not continue one day without these
10:40 am
huge infusions of weapons and this uh, it's the weapons, it's the funding, it's the subsidies, it's the trainers and contract. israel is the greatest recipient in history of us aid and uh that just continued pumping in. the un office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs condemns israel use of internationally banned heavy bombs in the gaza strip causing the bodies of victims to vaporize. georges petropolis drew parallels between israeli attacks and gaza's almawasi area and the us attack on the japanese city nagasaki. petropolis said around the dozen bodies were vaporized by the intensity of the blast of the israeli attack on almaawasi, but it is not clear exactly which... attack petropolis was referring to. early in september, in one israeli attack on that area, at least 22 people were reported
10:41 am
missing, assumed to have been vaporized. us made mk84 bombs was reportedly used in the attack. iran's un ambassador has categorically rejected threats of invoking the so-called snapback mechanism under the
10:42 am
jcpa by three european parties to the agreement. amisani warned that such an action with the e3 will be both unlawful and counterproductive. let's make it clear once and for all. the so-called snapback is not a tool in your hand to be abused for. tening iran, iran has made it very clear that such a provocative move will be reciprocated by a firm and proportionate response. this position was explicitly was addressing the un security council meeting on the jcpoa. the so-called snapback mechanism allows for the return of anti-iran sanctions suspended under the deal. he reiterated iran's position that the root cause of the unpass facing the jcpo is a unilateral withdrawal of the us and the e3's failure to honor their commitments under the accord.
10:43 am
iravani added that iran's decision to walk back on some of its jcpo commitments was a response to the worst bad promises. he stressed that iran is committed to continuing cooperation with the international atomic energy agency according to its obligations. the iranian diplomat urged the e3 and the us to abandon confrontational approaches. and demonstrated true commitment to diplomacy. journalist and political analyst john says western pressures on iran over its new peaceful nuclear program are aimed at preventing the industries progress as the world shifts away from the oil consumption era. well, when we talk about a nuclear iran, i'm talking about a nuclear power. capable iran that has an onward prospect after the end of the
10:44 am
petroleum era. we know that the petroleum era is winding down and the iranian economy is highly dependent on petroleum today. for iran to make a transition towards a new non-petroleum-based economy in the next 20 years is going to require a new energy source and the most logical energy source as we do have here in. canada and as they have across europe, is nuclear power, safe, responsibly controlled nuclear energy generation. iran has every right, as any other country to develop this technology technological advance. if iran is stopped from doing this, the effect would be an economic collapse in iran after the petroleum era, and that once again, would suit the israel lobby. iran's foreign minister says protecting political borders and
10:45 am
national sovereignty of regional countries is terran's red line and topmost concern. abbas arashi made the remarks in an article for lebanon's annahar newspaper. he stressed that the iran's presence in syria was at the official request of the country's government and was aimed at combatting the dish terrorist group. a actually said unlike iran us's presence in syria lacks any legal basis and has led to the occupation. of large swathers of the country. he also reaffirmed iran's commitment to supporting all muslim and arab forces that make up the resistance front against the israeli regime. he emphasized that resistance. against occupation and expansionism is not a merely ideological matter, but is the most important tool to protect security and stability of the entire west asia region. author and journalist sakina darto believes the ongoing developments in syria are actually undermining the country's sovereignty and autonomy, because every player wants a piece of its territory.
10:46 am
"if you not able to contain the sovereinity of a nation, whereas on one hand we are constantly hearing about how you know whatever happened in syria, the fall of it was to do with making sure that there is freedom in syria and therefore apparently a free syria, but it is actually what has happened is completely taking away the sovereinity and the really autonomy of syria because now we see so many players around the world who wants a peace of the nation and i think..." most important thing is is to make a difference about what iran's role was always in syria and in regional countries, it has always been a supporting role to ensure that these countries are able to maintain what is it they want, so in syria, for example, it was at the request of the president at that time bashar alsad that iran was there to support the country
10:47 am
against you know, for example the zionist entity which we have now seen has encroched. into major inwards, but so if you look at in in opposition to nations like like israel, but also us, their intentions of being there is anything but you know to support the country. there's also a lot of discussion that is happening that is against iran. now that syria has fallen, you know, the the narrative, this warfare in the media that is going on is to try and make iran look like the bad guys, whereas we all are aware of what the reality? is iran has only wanted to protect these nations and not encroach like the zionist entities doing and like the us is doing. iran's foreign ministry spokesman says enhanced international cooperation is necessary to counter terrorism and extremism and address the threats to peace, security and human rights. ismail bagai made the comments to mark the
10:48 am
